Jeb Bush staffers looking for new jobs ahead of SC primary

After his fourth place showing in the New Hampshire and a distance sixth place in the Iowa caucuses, the Bush team was desperate to prove to donors and supporters that he was still a competitive candidate.

If it was not a rhetorical question – polls are pointing to blow-out win for the billionaire businessman in the Republican primary in SC on Saturday, suggesting that yes, voters, if not the ones he was addressing, can imagine and in fact yearn for a Trump White House – it was an expression of frustration.

Jeb Bush’s brother, the former president, his sister-in-law, the former first lady, his mother, his sister, another brother, and of course his wife and children have come to SC, where George W. Bush’s political fortunes were made, in hopes of vaulting Jeb back into the Republican presidential race. Donald Trump has clearly been a wildcard in this campaign. “Can you be – excuse me for saying in the vernacular – a son-of-a-bitch?”

Yet in Sumter, an hour east of Columbia, Trump rocked an arena full of a couple thousand cheering fans who believe he has the answers. Instead, Haley backed Jeb Bush’s fiercest primary rival, Marco Rubio. Halliburton’s CEO, David Lesar, meanwhile, succeeded Dick Cheney after George W. Bush nominated him vice president in 2000. It puts Trump in the lead with 32 percent support.

Sitting beside her, Jane Anker, also retired, said she never imagined Mr Bush, whom she refuses to abandon, would be faring so poorly, expressing profound disappointment in the Trump phenomenon.

Campbell confirmed that Barbara Bush will be back on the trail on Thursday night. That’s one of many “dirty tricks” Trump and Marco Rubio accuse Cruz of.

“But we do not need someone in the Oval Office who mirrors and inflames our anger and frustration”.

“But even I was surprised to hear him attack my brother, George W. Bush, over 9/11”. There was something moving about the fraternal intimacy-the ex-President kept referring to Jeb as “Brother”-and all this talk of character, but they seemed to have escalated at the moment of defeat”.

South Carolina Republicans are capable of producing a surprise – in 2012, Newt Gingrich trounced Mitt Romney, who was the establishment favorite – but I see no good reason to wager that Bush is about to stun the political world. Rubio supporter Randy Nielsen told the outlet.

Mashable had some fun changing the monogram to “please clap” because of Bush’s plea to his audience at a rally.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday criticized Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush for a tweet Tuesday of a gun with the word “America” under it. You’re really playing to peoples’ fears in the worst sense.

“Is the problem in Washington, D.C., that we don’t insult each other enough?” said U.S. Sen.

In particular, Florida voters will be able to say what they think about Jeb’s status as a “pioneer” of high-stakes testing in public schools. “And then we have to have the resources to stay in the game”. “Are you scared of Donald Trump?”.
